Adult Braces

Adult braces don’t need to be an awkward procedure

Deciding to take the plunge and explore orthodontic treatment? Relax, we’ve come a long way from the metal grids you used to see in your teenagers’ mouths.

Lethbridge dentist Dr. Lachman: “When most people think of orthodontic treatment and adult braces, they often think of a long, tedious process involving braces, headgear and other noticeable, awkward devices. Today, we offer numerous orthodontic treatment options which are both effective and less visible.”

Choices, choices, choices

If you wish your teeth were straighter, there are many treatment options to consider.

Want to go practically invisible?

Invisalign® is a new approach to straightening teeth. It’s a system that uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners created for your specific needs. These aligner trays are made of smooth, virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. You can take the aligner trays out to eat, for cleaning, or for that special night on the town.

Wearing the aligners gradually shifts your teeth into place, based on your treatment plan.There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You’ll receive a new set of aligners about every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.
